Looks like instead of kids enjoying a good family film, they got to see some perverted European film. Well you can never start early enough with raising your children into cultured citizens. If they want, they can watch those Disney flicks for themselves when they turn eightteen. ~;p

lawyer time? why? they got to see the movie they paid for and received a free ticket, too. i could see "lawyer time" if there was some injury or something, but hey, if you want to spend the $ getting a lawyer for a case that will never make it to court, then that's your right.

Yeah, you could take 'em to court if there were delicious breasts shown, but a young boy hanging himself is only inappopriate in this case. Breasts, however delicious they may or may not be, would be indecent. If it were an accident, and not someone trying to pull a Fight-Club-like move, I see little reason to sue anyways.

Edit: of course breasts would be an example of indecency back in the day, now it would take a little more.

Edit2: inoppriate?

that's a good point. in america, any sexuality is considered morally indecent, but since the situation is death and/or violence (in a movie), it's a snowball's chance of anyone ruling against it in teh states.

So would there be grounds to sue if it were a TOPLESS woman committing suicide?

"It's pandemonium," Joshua Gallo, 30, told the Daily News as he rushed out of the theater with his 5-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter. "The kids are crying. The mothers are screaming for the managers to stop the film."Little exageration, but anyway, if they paid to see "Chicken Little" and instead this movie was played, causing moral damage, pehaps (~:confused: ), then I see some ground to sue here.
Wait, 1-year-old doughter crying, hardly believable, a child that's not aware of what death is, or even what the person is doing...I find it hard to beleive.

Not now-a-days, although there may be a multitude of state laws in the nudity area that I don't know of, only if it were something like breasts during intercourse or very vulgar language. I don't know for sure though, because I don't know of any indecency cases since Pacifica, where they ruled that teh (evil) FCC could punish indecent speech at certain times but not outright stop it -- ~:joker: what's the difference, the government can't stop anyone from saying anything, they can only punish them after the fact? E.g. radio stations cannot, if they don't want a fine, broadcast vulgarities during the day because it is an invasive form of speech, same idea goes for cable companies although it is a bit more complex, see Denver Telecommunications.

Guys, meet Andrea (http://www.dominicantoday.com/app/article.aspx?id=6426). European? D'uh. It's a Dominican movie, in fact teh acclaimed Latin American mystery and suspense drama based on a real story.

Opening sequence: a youth committing suicide.

Chicken Little...

Sorry...

LMFAO!!! ~D

LOL- Perhaps he assumed that it was European because the article said it was an "Spanish" movie.

I don't get it either.

Plus are trailers etc rated according to the main feature? Or was the wrong feature shown by mistake?

Must sue someone........

Real or acted suicide?

If it was real I'd laugh my aß off, fall off my chair and hurt my head, but continue to laugh through the concussion.

If it's acted, I'm hateful to the theaters and think they should be sued.

i´m trying to understand the logic behind this post.....

He's trying to talk tough. Let him grow out of it.

Also what's wrong with depicting a suicide? I thought America's liked violence, and only condemned b00bies being left uncovered. :surprised:

There is the reasonable view that it is improper for children to view a suicide, imo; and the numbers of our pron industry will tell you otherwise about uncovered breasts -- breasts which are not delicious can rightly be condemned as indecent.~;)

Stuff happens. A tort would only be successful if the movie theater could have been shown to have been negligent in its response or to have purposefully made such a switch. Seems like they responded reasonably quickly and attempted to recompense viewers. Hardly grounds for a suit, however disturbing/frustrating for those kids involved.

Now, the twistoids who purposefully inserted bits of pornography into rental copies of Disney films as a prank (late 80's/ early 90's if I recall) were in a different category.

Suicide is, I submit, NOT an appropriate subject matter for those in single-digit ages. Violence and explicit sexuality probably should both be off-limits or minimized in that age frame as well. Yes, the USA has some internal consistency problems on this -- but we're not exactly alone in that.

Accidents happen, absolutely no need to involve the courts though.

Mind you Britain is getting just as bad as the US with people suing burger companies for making them fat and coffee outlets for making their drinks hot, people need to get a grip.
The government agrees, and are apparently doing something about it.

I really don't see why there is an obession with certain things being evil. I think violence 'censored' is far worse than more real things. Children should know how horrific some things are.

no it actually mentions the name of the film. A simple google for andrea movie would surely turn it up.

And just before it starts there should be a screen saying what the movie is

After five minutes, "Andrea," a Spanish drama opening today, was turned off and "Chicken Little" was played.
Now, did I said that, no. I clearly said perhaps *he* assumed *that* the movie was from Spain (ie Europe) because it said spanish. In no place in this article it mentions that the movie is from latin america actually.

That's kind of sad. They should know what they are showing. Aside from that, it was just an accident. You shouldn't really be able to sue them unless maybe you daughter doesn't speak for the next 20 years...

Well perhaps you've to enter the gringo mentality. I know that pretty much of them don't give a damn about South America, but wheter it's on purpose or an standard culture reaction, it has political conotations, so I'll keep my opinions and this subject out of the question. My logic worked on that context, refering to the poster of this thread who is "american". No offense intended to anyone.

I hope "gringo" doen't refer to those of us at the northern end of America.

When i read Spainish, I thought it meant from Spain. If it had said Mexican, i would have thought it was from Mexico, if it had said Puerto Rican, I would have thought it meant it was from Puerto Rico, or if had said Martian, I would have thought it came from ####ing little green men from Mars. Does that make me an ignorant "gringo", Soulforged? Instead for posting an opinion about the actual story, you people want to argue the symantics of me saying European. Spain is in Europe right? Or I'm I just looking on map that some stupid "gringo" drew up?
If you guys want to introduce your children to hanging and such, that's fine. If I'm paying $8 bucks to see a animated chicken dance around the ####ing screen for an hour and a half with my kid, then thats what i should get to see. Not some EUROPEAN, SPAINISH, WHERE EVER THE #### MOVIE THAT SHOWS THE WONDEROUS WORLD OF A CHILD HANGING. SO IF THAT MAKES ME A STUPID ARROGANT GRINGO SO BE IT. ~:rolleyes:

I hope "gringo" doen't refer to those of us at the northern end of America.Yes it does. When I say yankee somebody comes and tells me that it's insulting, when I say american it's a semantic problem, and I personally don't like it, so yes I prefer to call you gringo, now if that's insulting then the Real Spanish Academy should create some word to define your nationality. In anycase, sorry...:shrug:

If it had said Mexican, i would have thought it was from Mexico, if it had said Puerto Rican, I would have thought it meant it was from Puerto Rico, or if had said Martian, I would have thought it came from ####ing little green men from Mars. Right just what I deducted.
Does that make me an ignorant "gringo", Soulforged? No it doesn't. You're clearly overreacting, I didn't said that the gringos mentioned were ignorant, I just said that their mind will probably go most times towards Europe.
Instead for posting an opinion about the actual story, you people want to argue the symantics of me saying European. Not at all, I just answered to a funny post of AdrianII, then someone criticized my logic, and then this ended up like this.
Spain is in Europe right? Or I'm I just looking on map that some stupid "gringo" drew up?Ok just relax, and read up my post again.

If you guys want to introduce your children to hanging and such, that's fine. If I'm paying $8 bucks to see a animated chicken dance around the ####ing screen for an hour and a half with my kid, then thats what i should get to see. I think the same, but let's not make the deal bigger than it's.
Not some EUROPEAN, SPAINISH, WHERE EVER THE #### MOVIE THAT SHOWS THE WONDEROUS WORLD OF A CHILD HANGING. SO IF THAT MAKES ME A STUPID ARROGANT GRINGO SO BE IT.No it doesn't. I don't really care who or what you're, as I said I only said that that's how some "american" logic functions sometimes, it's not bad, it's normal. Your reaction only confirms it. :shrug:
